Recommendation
We recommend that the Race Disparity Unit extend the Ethnicity Facts and Figures website to include a section on the BAME impacts of coronavirus specifically reporting the disaggregated share of BAME people being tested; the disaggregated share of BAME people infected and the disaggregated share of BAME deaths from the virus. The Government must ensure that this data is disaggregated by ethnicity to allow for a much more granular analysis of the situation. (Paragraph 52) Employment

The Ethnicity Facts and Figures website already has a dedicated page on Ethnicity and COVID-19.10 It includes links to key datasets, such as the ONS statistics on deaths by ethnic groups, intensive care admissions, and the OpenSAFELY analysis of ethnic differences in COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation, and mortality. The web page also links to the ONS dashboard on the latest COVID-19 insights.
